All right, Aaron.

Good afternoon, Chair Nishimoto, Vice Chair Topolo, Aaron Sakamoto with the Department of Design and Construction.

We've submitted for your consideration uh draft resolution authorizing the acquisition of two drainage easements in the Kaalu area.

And I'm available to enter any questions that you may have.

Thank you, Aaron.

Anyone else wishing to testify on this measure?

Please come forward.

Sir Hi, my name is Doug Hoffman.

I'm one of the residents at the uh addresses uh under discussion.

The uh reason I'm here is because the DCC has not really been a very good partner as working for resolution to acquire this easement.

The easement is located immediately adjacent to a couple of structures on our on our home, which has been built since the uh plot plan has been developed, and we requested just a couple of simple things from them.

One was to um do a survey and recognize the two um pieces of the two additions to the property on the plot plan, which they're immediately adjacent to the easement, and we don't want to have trouble later with the permitting department or anybody else if we need to do maintenance or rebuild a portion of it for some reason.

And the other um issue is we don't feel as though they've given us a fair market value for the piece of property that they wish to acquire.

Um they've offered us $18 a square foot for the piece of property.

The CD and County assesses our land at about $94 a square foot.

We feel that's a that's a fair market value since the city and county is taxing us at that rate, not $18 the way the DCC um is that it?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

And you know, we're really just hoping to continue to work with them.

Um we've contacted them on multiple occasions.
